a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.

b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground because of gravitational attraction force of earth.

c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.

d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.

e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.

f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding.

Complete Question:

Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bury itself just below the surface. What would have to be the mass of this asteroid, in terms of the earth’s mass M, for the day to become 25.0% longer than it presently is as a result of the collision? Assume that the asteroid is very small compared to the earth and that the earth is uniform throughout.

Answer:

m = 0.001 M

Answer:

the principle of original horizontality and the principle of superposition

Explanation:

The principle of horizontality states that layers of sediment are originally deposited horizontally under the influence of gravity.

The principle of superposition states that the oldest layer layer is at the bottom and each layer above it is younger, with the youngest being at the top.

Unconformities help us find the age of different layers. An unconformity is a surface in which no new solid matter is deposited after a long geologic interval. Angular unconformity is a type of unconformity which different kinds of stratum were tilted or folded before deposition of younger layers of solid matter above the unconformity. Once the layers were folded and tilted, the older layers of the solid matter eroded, then the younger layers were deposited on the older layers. There angular unconformity is the contact between young and old layers of solid matter.

Therefore, these two principles therefore describe how the tilted layers are older than horizontal layers.
